History

Chupacabra, meaning "goat sucker" in Spanish, is a cryptid believed to exist in the Americas. Its name comes from the reportedly habit of this creature to suck the blood of goats. It is often depicted as a tall bipedal with spines on its back. Although its favorite food is goat, the chupacabra is also believed to have attacked cats, dogs, chickens and other animals.

Many sightings of this creature have been reported, originating in Puerto Rico and spreading from the Caribbean island to Nicaragua, Mexico, southern regions of United States, as well as Argentina and Brazil.
